Columbus Short's Wife Granted Temporary Restraining Order

Last week actor Columbus Short was granted a temporary restraining order against his wife, Aida Short, after accusing her of abusing him and their dog [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Aida has been granted a restraining order against Columbus after submitting her own evidence of abuse...

From TMZ

Columbus Short's wife says he's been roughing her up for years ... and she's got photos of her alleged injuries.

Aida Abramyan-Short beelined it to court Monday and filed for a temporary restraining order against the actor, claiming he got violent with her as recently as last week ... on the same day he claims she busted his eye open and abused a 10-week-old puppy.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Aida claims she was doing laundry July 7 while Columbus was boozing ... and she says he snapped at her and then put his hands on her.

Aida claims she had sheets in her hand when Columbus yelled at her, "Don't slam the f***ing door b*tch. Your mouth is gonna get you in trouble! Shut the f*** up!" She says he pushed her, grabbed her and then began choking her, putting both hands around her neck.

Columbus' wife says a neighbor called police after hearing her scream, "My husband is choking me, help!"

In a request for a temporary restraining order against her husband, Aida included photos showing what she says are injuries from other alleged instances of domestic violence over recent years ... including bruising, scratching and a black eye.

Aida claims Columbus has been abusive to her in front of their kids ... and she says he's been arrested for DUI and has a "severe" drinking problem. She says he boozes daily and becomes violent and belligerent. She says she doesn't think the kids are safe when he drives them or when they're alone with him.

She wants a judge to order Columbus to stay 100 yards away from her and the kids ... though, as we told you, Columbus already has a temporary restraining order against her.

A judge granted Aida's request for a temporary restraining order but denied her request for temporary sole custody of their two children.
